Lynne Brown Tells Her PA To Resign Over Alleged Gupta Links

But it's not an admission of guilt, insists the minister.

Minister of Public Enterprises, Lynne Brown, has asked her personal assistant, Kim Davids, to step down following allegations related to the Gupta email leaks this week.

On Wednesday, amaBhungane and Scorpio reported that three people close to Brown, including Davids, have links to the Gupta family. According to the story, this suggests that the Guptas engineered several channels to the minister, and raises concerns about Brown's own capture by Gupta family interests.
